    Default Moving Field off screen - cursor stays

    Hi,

    I have a behavior which hides and shows sprites by moving them on and off
    stage. However, if I move a field off stage, and there are no other
    editable fields in the frame, then the cursor continues to flash where the
    field was.

    I have managed to get a fix by creating a 2nd dummy field which is
    constantly off stage and when I move my main field off stage I shift the
    keyboardFocusSprite to the dummy field. It works, but it's not particularly
    elegant.

    Anyone else encountered this problem and have a better solution?

    Thanks

    Mark

    I'm sure you've got a good reason, but why don't you just make the sprite
    invisible?
